Leeds United sold Tyler Roberts to Birmingham City in the summer transfer window, with the Welshman being one of a number of new signings at St Andrew’s.

Leeds United had a bit of a summer exodus following their relegation from the Premier League. Roberts was one of 15 players who were either sold or loaned out by the club, with Roberts joining Birmingham City for a reported fee of below £750,000.

In five years at Elland Road, Roberts made 108 total appearances, scoring nine and assisting 10 more along the way, having been a part of the 2019/20 promotion-winning team.

Life after Leeds United…

Unfortunately for Roberts, injury has kept him sidelined since the opening day of the season.

He started and played 60 minutes of the opening day draw v Swansea City. He was rested for the following game v Cheltenham Town in the Carabao Cup and then sustained a calf injury in the final training session before the next Championship game v Leeds united.

During his loan time with QPR last season, Roberts was hindered by a calf injury. Blues manager John Eustace stated that he intended to have Roberts back within three to four weeks, however he has yet to return.

According to the latest news on Roberts, Eustace is hesitant to push him back, with the 24-year-old still a few weeks away and expected to return after next month’s international break.

Roberts has been afflicted by injuries on numerous occasions. But he demonstrated his talent at Leeds United and in flashes at QPR last season, and if he can string together a run of appearances for Birmingham City, they’ll see how brilliant a player he is as well.
